I've got several, none of which are so trivial that I'd expose them to you guys. It's a fairly important question, and one which deserves a real quest to answer it. Not taking it seriously is one of the major failings of a whole lot of people.

My reason for being alive is to enjoy. The way I see it, there really isn't a point to living if you're just going to conform to the standard life that society expects you to follow: grow up, work, get married, have kids, retire, die.

Every day I wake up and strive to enjoy myself and not worry about all the other things that people tend to dislike.

We live because we have no other choice. We work and toil through every suffering day in order to stay alive.

Another reason could be that because some of want to see a good outcome come out of our lives someday. I guess some of us just wants to work hard to see how far we'll go. And I mean like, it's boring if you don't do anything with your life. You have to make it interesting.

I live for my goals. For promises which I'm currently working to fullfill.
Also someday when you grow up & have kids, you want them to learn from you. In a way you last forever. You live through your kids.

Surely those of you who say you have no reason to live wouldn't be here if you didn't, would you not? I mean, if you truly have no reason to live, why not just kill yourself? Naturally, if you have no reason to keep playing a game, why keep playing it? Normally, you'd turn it off and move on. I think most of you just don't want to die, possibly out of fear that there is no game to play after this one. That or you have some sort of attachment to this world. In other words, you have a reason to live.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'

AND NOT THE DIRTY KIND.

I just want to be able to do the things I enjoy most in the world for the rest of my life, and incorporate it into everything I do.

These two more or less sum up what I live for, pleasure and individuality. More so pleasure, and I am also refering to the vulgar kind.
